Lyas Holiday Home - 20 metres from a stunning beach

Perfect for couples or a family intent on snorkeling and swimming their vacation away. The lagoon in this area is also a protected reserve, so tropical fish are in abundance.

For those attending weddings in Titikaveka Lya’s is a perfect location and walking distance to the Little Poly and Moana Sands Hotels (and their restaurants).

Lya’s offers a welcome respite from the great outdoors with a covered verandah and comfy high ceilinged living area with a modern kitchen. Both bedrooms have queen size beds (one can be split into two singles).There is also a queen size bed in the living room so extras beyond the usual 4 people are able to stay.Pedestal fans in every room will keep you cool in the balmy evenings and the fully screened home will ensure the mozzies don’t join you on vacation.

If the weather’s not great, you can spend time at the Maire Nui gardens a great spot to catch up on all things plant like and tropical (there’s a cafe there as well).

Once ensconced, there will be little reason to leave the area, it has everything a home on a tropical island should have. The beach and lagoon in the area are particularly good with white sandy beaches, and a deep blue lagoon for swimming and snorkeling at low and high tides.

Smoking allowed outside only There is wifi at the house, in order to

Nice Stay
Lovely 2 bedroom house so close to the beach & Charlie’s. Has everything you need. We enjoyed having the fans as it was humid at night.

Lyas Bungalow
Exactly what I expected from the info I was given. Location was good, literally 3 mins off the beach, 1 min over the road to Charlies bar. Good value for money - I would recommend it.

Somewhat disappointing.
The actual house and location are good. The chattel's need attention. The crockery is old and stained, the curtains are old and ripped, the mop and brush for daily cleaning are disgusting. We felt for very little outlay financially the whole ambiance of the house and contents could be dramatically improved.

Very Comfortable and functional
Great condition. Generous fully equipped kitchen. Nice outdoor covered setting. Comfortable beds. Beautifully kept section with tropical planted boundary. Across from Charlies which recovered from storm while we were there. Would recommend.

Lovely bach - a stones throw away from beach and beer :-)
Property was great. It was clean, spacious (we had a bedroom each). Nice little touches with flowers, and some essentials in the fridge. It was a hop, skip and a jump from a gorgeous white sandy beach and turquoise ocean, and a quick walk into "Charlies" - a great bar / restaurant - good food, beer and cocktails. We didn't go far - but didn't need to - there was a small superette 300m away that had everything you needed. It is about a 20-25 minute walk to Muri beach markets - and food there was also great. Had a lovely stay. Thanks

Great home for a family
Large property and garden, which was ideal for our two young children. The fans in the bedrooms and nets at the windows helped us cope with the heat and prevent insects coming in. Great location, just opposite the beach. The house is also on the main road so it can be noisy (traffic + dogs/roosters)

Island Luxury on a budget
We loved our stay at Lyas Holiday Home. If you are looking for a place close to the best snorkeling, restaurants, beaches, and historical spots on Rarotonga, look no further. This is not a 5 star Luxury resort, but for a family place it is great value for the price! Plenty of room for our family of 5, including two teenage girls! Right across the road from Charlie's meant lots of people around between 6-9 pm, but we felt safe and Charlie's is a great spot for lunch, dinner, and darts! We enjoyed hearing the live island music in the evenings. We also rented a kayak from Charlie's for the week at a great price. It was easy to carry it across the road each morning for a georgeous sunrise paddle on the lagoon! At Lya's you are just a 7 minute drive to Wigmores superstore. A 3 min drive or 20 min walk to Muri beach and the night market. And some of the best snorkeling in the island is right across the road. Eddie was very helpful with all our inquiries and a genuinely nice guy! He even brought us fresh baked chocolate chip cookies to apologize when our check-in got a little complicated due to other tourists moving into the wrong Bach. We would stay again for sure!
